The Hills is a 2015 song by Canadian singer The Weeknd, released as a single from his album Beauty Behind the Madness. Its dark, trap-influenced production and distinctive chorus helped it become one of his signature tracks and a staple of late-night playlists. On short-form video and soundboards, the opening has been reused as shorthand for confidence, mystery and after-dark style, which keeps the excerpt circulating long after its chart run.
